No. 'x' _is_ the sign for the 5th finger in LilyPond > But although perhaps not so common the fifth finger is used (with the > letter 'c'): > > 1 = p = pulgar, 2 = i = índice, 3 = m = mayor, 4 = a = > anular, 5 = c = chiquito > I slightly disagree. In printed editions I've found: 'c', 'x', 'e' and even 'μ' (from a greek editor) LilyPond should default to the most common usage, imho. Though, I've no clue which that might be. Speaking only for me, I most often see 'x', but that's only me.
